Someone who’s more informed than me, please chime in.
As I understand it Alexis stepped away from the board(?) of reddit in 2020. Supposedly in protest after George Floyd was murdered. I believe he’s just your standard “Hey look, I’m woke too!” venture capitalist nowadays. Likely still heavily invested in reddit, seeing as I don’t think he’s spoken out on the controversy lately.
He caught a lot of heat for firing Victoria back in 2015 iirc.
Most of what I saw about him was from his own website so take it all with a huge grain of salt.

Although as much as I hate to give props to a rich guy, he does put on a much better Real Human act than spez, Musk, or Zuc.
Funny thing for me, is that Beehaw was the first bit of the Fediverse I ever came across. Tried to sign up, twice, didn’t work. So that’s how I ended up on .world, the first group I found that didn’t want an essay to sign up.
Any Drew Gooden fans?
Road work ahead
